You Reap What you Sow

Earlier tonight I decided to watch the new ABC series GCB (or Good Christian Bitches) which is based off a book of the same name written by Kim Gatlin.
The series basically is about a woman (Amanda Vaughn) who was the "Queen Bitch" back during her high school days. She returns to a high class suburb outside of Dallas, Texas after her asshole husband squandered their money, the money of others, and left her to run off with his mistress, and dies in the process (more about this later).
The series so far follows Amanda and her redeeming herself from all her horrible ways while she was a teenager, mending her relationship with her mother, a friend of hers, and making sure her children don't end up in a screwed up life like she did, all while dealing with an extremely judgemental bitch (Carlene "Kitten") who is now the Queen bitch and is controlling over 2 other women (Cricket and Sharon)- formerly 3 (Heather stands up for herself and actually forgives Amanda and they start over). Cricket and Sharon atm follow the bidding of Carlene.

Now to my point of the title. After the first church service in the series, the sign outside of the building read "You Reap What You Sow". One of Amanda's kids ask her what it means. Her response was, "It's Texan for Karma".

Watching the series and hearing that made me think of everything and how what we do, and how we act will come back to us in the end. A good way to show this is to connect the series into this.
Example: Amanda's husband dies in a car crash. Wanna know how that happened? He left his wife and kids, was fleeing to Mexico, with his mistress and all the money he squandered from clients. He ended up crashing in the end, while he was getting road head by his mistress. Karma: you cheated on your wife, squandered money from innocent people. Enjoy
Amanda: She is now facing the fact that her life fell apart, has to deal with the bitches of the community who have not forgiven her. However, she realises this is her karma and is working on getting her life back in order and isn't falling too deeply into their ways. Starting with apologising for her mistakes. As well as making sure her kids don't end up like her.

To connect my life into this. I like to think that I try not to do bad towards others, no matter what because I know that it will come back. I have had that happen. I still have moments where I mess up and face my just desserts. I try my best not to be mean to others.
Recently my friend had a picture taken off of her Facebook profile and it was turned into a very hurtful meme, making fun of her being overweight. This was hurtful and she was upset over it. So, a bunch of us went on the page and reported the picture, reported his page. Her boyfriend posted to the guy asking him to take it down and not to take pictures of her off her page. We all got flamed by these people. They kept mocking her, calling her names and making fun of her weight. The part it gets to me is the fact they did not show any remorse or even apologise once we had found out it was her picture and asked. They just kept at it and were harassing us as well. It is hurtful knowing how they are and they didn't care considering it's people like them who push her to feel horrible about herself and turn her more depressed and lose confidence in herself and it could get worse. We of course threw in the karma thing and they of course didn't give a shit.
Well guess what? Eventually they will get what they will deserve. She will do awesome in her life, while they will have to grow up quick and deal with some crap thrown at them. Not by us, but this will come and bite them in the butt. The way we made this a point to them was not by being direct assholes, we just did it in subtlety and let them know. We acted maturely. They did not.

I like to think they will get what the deserve for all the hurtful messages they make towards people and that maybe they will grow up once they do have to deal with their Karma. But, that will be up to them how they handle it. We are in control over our destiny and only we decide how we handle the situations thrown at us.  We also are in control over how we treat those around us. Because remember these: Karma does happen, You Reap What You Sow, and The Golden Rule.

I do apologise for the long post
